The time is upon us again. The NY Asian Fim Festival kicks off Friday June 27th with over 60 movies this year. There are a lot of great movies playing that I just won’t have time to see. I’ve went through all the trailers and all of the information on the different movies they are showing, and I’ve picked a list of 5 movies that I really want to check out, and so should you.
There were a lot of games announced at E3 this year. One that caught my eye the most was Super Ultra Dead Rising 3 Arcade Remix Hyper Edition DX Plus Alpha (SUDR3) . . . now say that 3 times fast. The amazing thing is that Capcom was able to keep it under their hat, and release it the day of E3.
SUDR3 is a DLC add-on for Dead Rising 3 that adds several characters from Capcom’s other game franchises into Dead Rising 3 . . . sort of. What’s actually happening is that the 4 main characters from the Dead Rising series have broken into a costume store and are cosplaying as these other characters. While they are cosplaying, they can pull off that characters moves. As an example, while Nick is cosplaying as Ryu from the Street Fighter franchise, he gains the ability to throw fireballs. This whole thing sounds awesome, but it isn’t without its flaws.

Today VIP ticket packages have been announced for the 2014 NY Comic Con. There are 2 separate tickets. One is the Ultimate VIP package, and the other is the Special Access package. The Special Access Package mainly gets you into the con at a separate entrance so you don’t have to wait in line with everyone else in the morning. The Special Access Package also grants you access to the VIP lounge, and it will include the new NY Super Week Card for $195. The Ultimate Access Package includes everything that the Special Access Package includes, plus one free Autography from a celebrity of choice, and priority access to the Main Stage events for $495.
In discussing the Main Stage priority access, ReedPop made known that they are making a change to how they handle Main Hall seating between events.
Hopefully you’ve gotten a chance to go see the excellent movie Edge of Tomorrow over the weekend. I took some time on Friday to go see the movie a second time, and I still love the film. Now that the movie is out I wanted to go into a deep dive into how the source material All You Need is Kill compares to the Edge of Tomorrow. This is going to be very spoiler heavy so don’t read on if you haven’t seen the film yet.
The summer blockbuster movie onslaught has been in full force since the beginning of May. Most summer blockbuster films are full of explosions and one liners, and while all of that can be fun to see, they are very one note. At the NYC premiere, for Edge of tomorrow, America’s golden boy Tom Cruise, came into our theater to intro the movie, and delivered a bunch of one liners from his previous flicks. I almost felt like he was preparing me for what to expect. I started to imagine Tom Cruise herpin and derpin from one moment to another delivering cool one liners along the way. I was dead wrong. Edge of Tomorrow goes well beyond the need for a memorable one liner, and delivers the best summer blockbuster of the year.
